Dear aspiring developer,
You have the mental chops to do development: you create Excel sheets, write SQL, etc. So it is disappointing to watch developers ship real software with AI while your best is a pretty web app. AI can mimic their years of training, but that still isn’t enough: developers also have tools to build software, a machine to build it on, and prebuilt code to build from. dk gives you all three. It’s time to build real software.

Coming soon
dk Prompt Studio. Describe what you want to build and get a paste-ready “mini-plan” for your AI agent.
How it works
- Onboard with a GitHub account
- Your AI agent writes dk scripts
- A remote GitHub Actions machine builds it
- Ship real software
Compared to traditional development
| You | Traditional software developer | |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | IT gives you GitHub Enterprise account, or you use Student/Free account | IT gives them corporate machine + GitHub Enterprise account |
| Code Creator | AI agent | Themselves and/or AI agent |
| Hardware | GitHub Actions | Beefy, always-on development machine |
| Operating System | Windows + maybe macOS | Linux + Windows + maybe macOS |
| Security Sandboxing | GitHub Actions | Docker and/or Virtual Machines |
| Coding Style | High Throughput: many agents at once. Code must be self-instrumenting (ie. logs, metrics, detailed errors) to cut debug cycles | Low Latency: they code one or two things simultaneously with fast, local feedback |
Why dk?
-
Windows is first-class →
Build on the OS your users actually use: Windows, with macOS and Linux too.
-
Remote builds →
No beefy PC or laptop needed.
dk0 remotecompiles on a remote build machine. -
Caches & incremental builds →
Pull prebuilt binary caches with
dk0 addand rebuild only what changed withdk0 restore. -
Write-once, read-many distros →
Package once and distribute everywhere, with checksums and signatures baked in.
Commands
get-object | Fetch a prebuilt object (a tool, library, or binary) from the registry. |
|---|---|
remote | Build on a remote GitHub Actions machine instead of your own. |
add | Add a GitHub release verified with a SLSA-2 attestation to your workspace. |
restore | Rebuild only what changed: fast, incremental builds. |
run-object | Run a built object locally or remote. |
distribute | Package a build into a signed, checksummed distribution. |
